Need help filling tackle box

[DOGFISH]

I see bucktails. Good start. They are easy to troll. Remember, spring big. You will need some trolling weights.

Trolled crankbaits, start out with natural shad, bunker colors, with some whites and chartruese, deep divers and shallow. Possibly some chrome for sunny days.

Spoons, take you choice, Tonys, Cripple Alwive; Kastmasters for casting.

A few smaller plugs for surface action, reasonable sized not like the large surf plugs you have shown.

Hooks, sinkers and floats for live bait rigging and bottom fishing.


Keep it fun.

Oh yea, forgot soft plastics. Swimm tails, shad tails and tubes; tip bucktails with soft plastics and jigging with soft plastics.

summersoff,

How do you rig/fish your slug-gos for salt? For LM Bass I'll throw a 6" with a #3 hook, no weight and just twitch it. Normally twitching and reeling with enough frequency that it stays near the surface. Technique similar for salt? Let it fall? Any weight?

Pretty standard rigging. 9" sluggo, Dracron, 7/0 Octopus, threading needle, and superglue for the end knot on the head hook. Soap your threading needle for it will run much smoother. Also aim your threading needle slightly off centered on the head for your hook needs to go center. There are plenty of videos on youtube that show it. Look for steve mckenna (?).
I fish it like a pencil where I am constantly banging the rod. The sluggos will dance on the water. I sometimes use three of the heavier sluggo weight, two tail one head when I run it a little deeper. Sometimes I use a heavy jig head when running really deep in canals or fast running jetties.
I am not sure how to use them on kayak yet, but they are one of my goto's for surf so, will deffinitey put in some hours to figure it out.
pm me if you need help with the sluggo rigging.

Have you had a chance to try the sluggos yet?
